So I’m going to bad here, and post something I baked today sans recipe. I’m doing this because the recipe isn’t ready yet, but when it is, it’ll be here.
I came up with the idea for the S’more pie sometime shortly after watching Waitress, a little film that is well worth renting, especially if you like pie. As often happens, life intervened and I never got around to making this pie until today.
The basic idea is this: graham cracker crust, flourless chocolate cake filling, topped with perfectly browned mini-marshmellow. A s’more in a pie!
This was a good start. There are some issues that need addressing, the crust isn’t quite right and got a little too crispy, the filling wasn’t chocolately enough for me and the marshmellow is a little overwhelming, but like I said, a good start.
I also tasted it just out of the oven to capture the meltiness of marshmellow, but I’m interested to see if the flavors meld more when cooled. It’ll probably be a while before I get another shot at this one, but I’ll let you all know when I do.
On a completely unrelated note:
I chopped off all my hair in preparation for summer weather.
(Sorry Mom).

As a solution to your marshmallow problem, may I suggest using a jar of marshmallow creme. Spread about a 1/4 inch on top, and add peaks a la meringue for interesting browned bits.
I think it’s funny that your Mom is upset by short hair. My Dad is the complete opposite. He repeatedly tries to bribe me to cut it all off.

hmm in my search for s’more pie (my son requested a s’more cake for his birthday but it’s just going to have to be pie) I am really enjoying the flourless chocolate cakeyness of your idea as opposed to the chocolate puddingness of other also yummy sounding recipies. Thanks!
I really liked that movie too and it’s funny what parents get upset about with their adult children(o:
